MISS
GRENADA,
AT SUNS EFT.

--
l love, when Autumn days are done
And all the winds at rest,
To sit and watch the happy sun
Go out into the west:
To let my idle fancy stray
Across the waters golden way;
To follow, follow, follow on
Until the cleaning land
Has sunk beneath the waves and gone
Like castles on the sand:
To follow till / gain at last
The charmed country of the past.
There in the glamor OF romance,
BY forest, plain and hill,
With crested helm and glittering lance
The knights are riding still,
And manya hoary castle wall,
Echoes at eve their bugle-call.
There cruise the bearded buccaneers
Who swept the English main;
There gather to the feast of spears
TIL ravens of the Dane,
And to the shining summer skies
The old sea-rovers' war-songs rise.
And there are low soft melodies
About the shadowy shore.
where IHe stars IfenlDle On lue Se1S
Beneath the silent oar;
Music of lutes and %serenade,
Sweet songs by happy lovers made.
There, clash Of steel on steel, AMI shout
OF battle wildly ring;
Granada's Moors are riding out
To meet the Christian King,
And all the chivalry Of Spain
Is fighting for the Cross again.
There by the glancing rivers side,
Out through the mornings mists,
Gay lords and ladies laughing ride
Wiz hawks upon their wrists:
The sot winds bear across the fells
The music OF their silver bells.
There, stretched the drowsy pines among
The Lotos-eaters be:
There still the SIRENS fatal song
Is sweet upon the sea,
And through the woodland and the stream
TIL nymphs and naiads glide and CLEAN.
TIL golden glow falls pale and dim
Far in the western sky,
Where on the waters utmost rim
The ships go sailing by.
That fair wurld fades away uuce more
And leaves me lonely by the shore.

The Northern Tier.

Special Correspondence of tho ISrEn.OcEAN.I
BODEN, May 4.-There was a Sabbath
school meeting held last Sunday at Geo.
Davis, with a goodly attendance. An
organization was perfected and a series
of interesting meetings will be held there
during the coming summer season. We
hope to see it prosper.
The mild and warm rains of last Sum
day and Monday were equal to special
dispensations from Providence. The
grain fields are beginning to present a
beautiful carpet of green and to insure
a healthy and vigorous growth. Every
thing points to q luxuriant crop for this
year, and the farmers smile until they
almost cry. They all speak of building
more new graneries.
The railroad fever has not struck any
of our boys vet and we trust it will not.
The idea entertained by some men that
the few dollars they may chance to re-
alize on the new railroad 200 miles dis
tant will amply compensate them for
their time is the greatest absurdity. They
do not stop to think how short a time
lies between now and hay season and
how precious is their time when that
season rolls around. 1t is only about
two and a half months at the farthest.
This is just the time the industrious and
live farmer improves his buildings and
makes other improvements that he must
have for winter. 1t is the proper time.
A word to the wise is sufficient. Stay at
home dear brothers and you will reap
the benefits of your labors.

held on each evening of the week except
Monday and perhaps Saturday.
Last Saturday we had the pleasure of
meeting at Crazy MI. II. l.. Loucks, of
Clear Lake, president of the Territorial
Farmers Alliance. He is making a cir
cult through the northern part of the
territory to introduce to the farmers the
Alliance Hail Association Of Dakota.
AS president he has placed the Farmers
Alliance of Dakota in the very front
rank of all similar organizations. AS a
manager Mr.. Loucks is bold, fearless and
active, asking only a "fair field and no
tavors. He has made arrangements to
attend tho county alliance meeting at
Devils Lake next Saturday and it is an
opportunity every member should en-
brace to make his acquaintance.
The last storm did much good and the
farmers are feeling more cheerful.

pretty good picking.

THE TARIFF IN POLITICS

Some of the best Republicans of the
country are urging q reduction of exist
ing high protective tariffs.-Pierre Sig
nal.
All Republicans favor a tariff reduc-
ton. The Republican party is the only
political party that is united in favor of
reduction. The tariff has been gradu-
ally reduced from time to time by the
Republican party, as the combined ne
cessities of labor and capital required it.
The Republican party will continue to
reduce the tariff by degrees but there
is one thing the party never will do, and
that is to suddenly wipe the tariff out Of
existence and cause a disastrous panic,
which would be injurious to the whole
country. If absolute " free trade" be.
comes in time an imperative necessity,
the Republican party will be found III
the lead in the work of adopting and
carrying out the requisite legislation.
Where will the Democratic party be
then? Exactly where it is n%ow-hope.
lessly divided ON the tariff question 3
the Randall wing favoring a strong pro-
tectiye tariff and the Carlisle wing advo-
eating unconditional "free trade" The
ultra tariff views Of the Randall wing
bodies nc good to the country. The time
has passed for q high protective tariff.
The absolute free trade" policy Of til e
Carlisle wing-if suddenly adopted
would bring disaster. Either extreme
would be injurious. The country is not
ready Cor free trade :" and it has out
grown high tariff. The gradual reduc-
ton which the Republican party has
been making, eve since the Democratic
party made n high tariff necessary, is
the only wise course to pursue. This is
! "tarif reform" Randalrs high tariff
means ruin. Carlisle's "free trade
means business paralysis.

Sunday afternoon last a terrific wind
and hail storm occurred at st. Paul. Hail
stones measuring nine inches in circum-
frence were gathered after the storm SUBJ

city were torn up. The Martin Lumber
company are heavy losers. The lumber
In their yards was blown for blocks. A
tannery on Rice street was utterly de-
molished. Fifteen dwellings east OF Rice
street were moved off their foundations.
Eighty-one lights Of glass were blown
out of the Panorama building. Some of
the hail stones measured nine inches in
circumference. A passenger train on the
st. Louis had just passed the Seventh
street crossing when the entire embank-
ment, loosened by the storm. went down.
Two houses belonging to a Mr.. Fitzgib-
bons on Rice street were blown from
their foundations, and one OF them is a
total wreck. The storm was unusually
severe in tho district lying between the
West Seventh street car barns and Fort
Smelling. The roof and the smoke stack

BooDLER ORDwAY writes Major Ed
wards a congratulatory letter, and takes
occasion to refer in a vain-glorious way
to the fact that the president of the late
legislative council was a "capital com
missioner" and the chairman of the ju-
dietary committee was another, and
that the legislature found no fault with
the old gang, etc. Ordway continues to
feel proud of the infamous part he took
Ill Dakota affairs, and of curse he is
proud of his co-boodlers ; hence his
complimentary reference to Hughes

ulation to Fargo's Jackpot mayor.

A Coal Nine Horror.

VICTORIA, B. c., May4.-T'he Colonist's
Nahimo special says a terrible explosion
occurred in No. l shaft of the Victoria
Coal company's mine Mt 6 O'clock last
night. One hundred and fifty men are
believed to be in the mine. Atmidnight
twelve bodies had been recovered. Some
were dead and others fatally burnt.
There is little hope of rescuing alive any
of those yet in the mine. A rescuing
party went down, but owingt to the black
damp, were unable to do anything. s.
Hudson, one of the rescuing party, died
shortly after coming out. The mine is
now on fire. The scene around the shaft
is mos heartrending. A special train
with surgeons arrived from Victoria at 2
O'Clock this morning.
